Sensation as if the brain was loose in forehead and falling from side to side (BELL., BRY., RHUS, SPIFF.). Often very useful in the stomach troubles of old whiskey topers.

SULPHURICACID is another remedy of value in aphthous affections of the mouth. It is particularly efficacious in greatly debilitated subjects, and in children with marasmus with this kind of mouth. There is often present sour stomach (IRISVERSICOL. and ROBINIA, sour eructations and vomiting) with sour vomiting, and THECHILDSMELLSSOURALLOVERDESPITETHEGREATESTCAREINREGARDTOCLEANLINESS. (RHEUM, HEPAR and MAGNESIA.) One of the strongest characteristics, perhaps THE strongest, in weakened subjects in which this is the appropriate remedy, is a SENSEOFINTERNALTREMBLING. This is a subjective symptom, for, notwithstanding this positive sensation, to a degree that is very distressing, there is no visible trembling. This symptom is frequently found in old topers (see RANUNCULUSBULB.), who are broken down or almost wrecked in health by strong drink. The symptom, however, is not confined to such subjects, but is often found in other cases when the debility is traceable to other causes; when markedly present from whatever cause, SULPHURICACID should never be forgotten. We have already spoken of the value of this remedy in purpura haemorrhagica. Like CROTALUS, it has haemorrhages from every

outlet of the body (ACETICACID, THLASPI), and the blood also settles in ECCHYMOSEDSPOTSUNDERTHESKIN. This last symptom would indicate that SULPHURICACID might be useful in black and blue spots in the skin, as the result of bruising, and practice corroborates it, and it follows well after ARNICA. LEDUMPALUSTRE is also one of our best remedies for ecchymosis from bruises, "black eye," for instance; this is, of course, for bruises under the skin; while RUTA is just as efficacious for bruises of the periosteum. There is enough of the SULPHUR element so that it may succeed in "flushes" of heat, after SULPHUR has failed at the climacteric.
